Mr Siegried Sedziafa, Chairman, 1974 KETASCO Alumni disclosed to Ghana News Agency that they spent about GH¢45,000.00 on the project.
“It was a great delight for us to touch the soil of our alma mater after 50 years and the training we had gave us the conviction to come and give back to the school.
“We wanted to do something that could affect both students and staff and we chose the sick bay. That is why we raised the standard to a status that can even take care of staff and students as well.”
Mr. Innocent Augustt, KETASCO Headmaster, receiving the keys to the renovated clinic commended the Association for their support and promised it would be put to good use.
“It is with joy we receive this clinic in this new condition, you cannot pursue academic excellence in bad health, so the decision to make our school clinic better will positively affect our academic performance very greatly ….”
The Association promised their continuous commitment to the school as they planned to work in other departments towards boosting academic excellence.
